TheDrunkLife turns 30!

It seems I never posted my last 2 video blogs ITT.

Some of the ideas for what I plan to do next which I expressed in the videos are probably going to end up being somewhat different than my first intentions, or they may not happen and other things might happen instead, but there are definitely some gems in there and for the people who have enjoyed my videos so far, I think these ones will be enjoyable also. Boy are those youtube stills brutal. Pretty sure I can change them but whatever…

I may do some sort of bonus video blog about my Ayahuasca experience, but most likely I will try to put those thoughts into my new blog which will be for anyone, not just poker players, but poker players certainly welcome.

I may keep a poker blog in some capacity, but there is only so much time in a day and I gotta do what I’m passionate about. If I get motivated to do more poker-writing stuff, then I will, but I’ve wanted to try going broader with my ideas for a while so I’m going to see where that takes me.

I’m still playing PLO, studying a lot, building a stable with a friend. I just need an outside outlet for my creativity. I’ve decided to start taking time out for writing, both my new blog and my first book. I’ve wanted to write a book for a long time.

It’s tough with poker to do two things at once, but financial success from poker simply isn’t worth the price of sacrificing all of your time. If the only way to do well in poker is to let it consume your entire life, it’s just not a good trade. You won’t be able to buy back your life.

I know if I have meaningful things going on in my life, I’ll have an easier time spending time on poker to support that life and an easier time dealing with negative results since my life isn’t defined by my poker results. I enjoy poker, I enjoy knowing what’s going on and feeling compitant. I also like winning
